not able to attend class

Hello,

Can you tell me if this sentence is correct, please?

"Sheila had a lot of work last year, that's why she wasn't able to attend all lessons".

Thanks a lot
Will

There's a comma splice. Otherwise it's OK. It would probably be a good idea to specify 'outside' before 'work'; otherwise it might be misinterpreted as meaning she couldn't be bothered to do so much class-work. ;-)

Thanks a lot.

What's a "comma splice"?

Have a look here, please.

:up: Yes, a splice is a join, and a comma splice is the joining of two main clauses with a comma.
